A lot of people think that the meerkat stars in its own reality show, Meerkat Manor. However, this is a misconception. In fact, “Manor” is a soap opera in the style of Downton Abbey, which just happens to be filmed in mockumentary style. The producers claim that this is merely a device, and not meant to be taken as a literal part of the Meerkat Manor universe. Debate on the Meerkat Manor forums continue to rage.

Dang it, Randy; you ruined another picture.

What if it fought a bear?

Don’t be silly. All the cooking challenges in the world can’t prepare you for a bear fight.

Is it noble?

Moderately.

Final rating

The meerkat’s name comes from the Dutch for “more cat.” As in, “I’d like some more of that cat!” The Dutch have historically greatly enjoyed the cut of the meerkat’s jib. And I find it hard to disagree with them. It’s a pretty great animal all around, as long as you don’t have to share a television with it.

Didn’t know I had so much in common with the meerkat. At least it received a 9 out of 10. Now I don’t feel so lame knowing that I too would watch those shows if they existed.
